Charlton have not completed a league double over Derby since the 1983-84 campaign. After winning five consecutive home league games between September and November, Derby have failed to win each of their last three on home soil (D2 L1). Both of Charlton's away wins in the Championship this season were recorded in August (2-1 v Blackburn and 2-0 v Reading) - they have failed to win any of their eight away games in the competition since then (D3 L5). Chris Martin has been directly involved in five league goals for Derby in home games this season (two goals and three assists); the most of any player for the Rams. Charlton striker Lyle Taylor has scored four goals in five away appearances in the Championship this season.
